%&' % STATEWIDE - Housing sales for the month of May in Wisconsin were the strongest recorded by the Wisconsin Realtors Association in nine years. Existing home sales were up 7.8 percent in May compared to the previous year. Michael Theo with the WRA said it was one of the best for May sales on record since 2006.

He said what may be fueling a “strong marketplaceâ€? is good interest rates and a healthy — albeit tightening — inventory. Another factor in the state of the marketplace, Theo noted, is that there is some concern that interest rates may go up by the end of the year. Meanwhile, home prices also continue to grow. The median price of a home in May was $160,000 — a 6.7-percent increase compared to last year. Theo said all regions the WRA monitors saw increased sales, with the biggest gains in the northern and central parts of the state. - Breann Schossow | WPR News ••• STATEWIDE - Is there anything better than a Wisconsin summer?

Jean Koelz|Staff writer SIREN – After just one academic year, Siren’s prekindergarten through eighthgrade principal, Sarah Darwin, has tendered her resignation. Following the regular monthly school board meeting on Monday, June 22, district Administrator Scott Johnson issued a brief statement saying that the board has “accepted with regret� Darwin’s resignation. According to Johnson, Darwin has accepted a new position with CESA 12 as an educational consultant. Johnson added, “She is leaving our district under very good terms. She has been a great administrator and we will miss her.� Darwin’s resignation represents an9>2/< =3183J-+8> ><+8=3>398 38 + 638/ 90 +8nual changes at the administrative level. Back in 2011, the district replaced principals Joe Zirngibl and Jason Wilhelm with new pre-K through 12th-grade principal Peggy Ryan in an attempt to save money

on administrative costs. The following year, the job was divided into two positions again by adding Sarah Johnson as an elementary principal. When Ryan left for St. Croix Falls in 2013, Johnson was named the 7-12 principal and Siren added a part-time elementary principal, Sara Towne, and a dean of students, Jason Hinze. Then in 2014, when Johnson left to join the Spooner School District, Hinze became the high school principal and Siren hired Darwin as the new elementary principal. High teacher and staff turnover is plaguing school districts statewide. Last fall, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that in the wake of Act 10, schools are being forced to change compensation models in order to attract and keep good people.

Last month, district secretary Tammy Merth resigned, and earlier this month, the school’s guidance counselor, Debra Eichmann, also resigned. Because it is time-consuming and costly to recruit and interview new candidates, turnovers for small school districts like Siren present a real hardship and can have a damaging effect on the morale of remaining staff members. From a budgetary standpoint, there doesn’t seem to be any funding relief in sight.

County Planner Tim Anderson is working on a document which compares the existing and new ordinances. That comparison will also be listed soon. Also, state Rep. Adam Jarchow has proposed some new shoreline zoning standards. One of his proposals states that a county could not set standards that are more restrictive the DNR rule. His proposals were entered into the proposed state budget through action at the Legis-

lature’s Joint Committee on Finance. The Jarchow proposals are part of Joint Finance’s Motion No. 520. There is a link to that motion on the Leader website at leadernewsroom.com, with the story, Primer on Polk County zoning ordinance rewrite. The Jarchow proposal is item 23 on pages 10 and 11 of the motion.

Budget would limit county regulations of shoreline develpment Counties would be required to use state standards, and not implement their own restrictions

Danielle Kaeding | WPR News NORTHWEST WISCONSIN - Conservation groups and close to 20 counties are voicing opposition to shoreland zoning changes approved by the Legislature’s budget committee last month. Under the proposed change, counties would be held to the minimum state standard for properties located near a shoreline, as well as zoning requirements for lot sizes and buffer areas. The state requires property to be set back 75 feet from the shore.

Services Wednesday for Jeri Pearson Local educator loses life in "* ><+0J- +--3./8> COZY CORNER - A memorial service for Jeri Pearson, 62, will be held Wednesday, July 1, at the Northland Community Center, formerly the Dairyland School, in Cozy Corner. The service will begin at 11 a.m. Pearson, a longtime resident of Cozy Corner and retired high school Spanish teacher, lost her life Friday, June 19, after being struck by a vehicle while crossing a street in Brooklyn, N.Y. Pearson worked for years at Webster and Solon Springs high schools and also served as a human rights observer at a

refugee village in Guatemala. Leader columnist Steve Pearson offers more on Pearson’s life in his column on page 9. According to the New York Daily News, for which Pearson’s daughter, Erica, is a reporter, the accident occurred Friday evening by a vehicle at the intersection of Putnam and Bedford Avenues. Jeri was in New York visiting with her daughter, son-in-law and 11-month-old granddaughter. She was rushed to Kings County Hospital after the accident. Police said the investigation was continuing, but the driver was not given a ticket at the scene Friday night. - Gary King with information from New York Daily News

Grantsburg Library asks county for money

Jean Koelz|Staff writer BURNETT COUNTY - A group of people representing the Grantsburg Library appeared before the Burnett County Board of Supervisors on Thursday, June 18, to ask for help. “We’re here to ask for money,� said Trustee Pam Davies. “To us, this is an emergency.� In her presentation, Davies asked for both immediate help and increased funding in the 2016 budget and beyond. “Our library has grown and is changing, and with that comes a new vision and sense of mission.� Davies explained that the Grantsburg Library is only open 32 hours per week, whereas other nearby libraries are open around 50 hours per week. Because of that, library users tend to visit libraries outside the county. Davies speculated that people are probably unaware that under Wisconsin Act 420, their county of residence has to reimburse those libraries for services provided to them. “We would like more of these dollars to stay in Burnett County,� Davies said.

Even with +66 >2/ @96?8>//<= =>+0J81 3= >2/ =3816/ biggest expense. An increase in hours of operation represents a sizeable expense. Representatives invited supervisors to provide additional funding as a three-year test. The presentation painted a picture of a library as much more than an institution that lends out books and other media. “Libraries are centers of lifelong learning and are central to community as our customers cut across all socioeconomic strata,� Davies said. Among other programs, the library currently provides reading programs for children, adult literacy programs, computer help, tutoring services and tax prep assistance to seniors. “We provide many services to the community,� Kelly-Johnson said. “Recently I helped a single mother prepare a re-

sume,� and she said the library is a home away from home for some local youth who come to read, use the Internet and play chess. Rod Kleiss, a library trustee and Grantsburg Village trustee, asked to speak as a citizen and business owner. “Kleiss Gears is poised for a major expansion,� Kleiss explained, adding that his company has 2+. ><9?,6/ J8.381 >+6/8>/. :<90/==398als willing to relocate. “The library is just part of an overall effort to attract young professionals to work and settle in the area,� Kleiss elaborated. “We’re not asking for money; we’re asking for an investment.� Supporters of the Larsen Public Library in Webster may wonder what increased funding for the Grantsburg Library might mean for them. The Webster library is still raising funds to pay for the new building that opened in 2011 and the increased overhead that came with it. Before any funding decisions can be made, the subject will have to be referred back to committee for further discussion. The next county board meeting is scheduled for July 23.

Quiet Polk County property auction ends

Six of eight parcels sold

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – Six of eight listed properties were sold as the seventh Polk County auction of tax-forfeit property came to a conclusion Monday morning, June 22. Only seven bidders took part in the online auction which extended over a twoweek period. The six properties brought

in $29,675. That was $1,175 over the minimum bid amounts. Two of the six properties had more than one interested bidder. There were no bids on the two most expensive items, a 1.6-acre lot in the Hidden Shores of Trident Lake development in Black Brook and a 2.86-acre wooded lot on Glovers Lake in Johnstown. Those properties had listed minimums of $13,000 and $25,000 respectively. In the past, the county has reoffered unsold properties at

a later auction with a lowered minimum. The properties that did sell included two long narrow lots in Lorain. Each were listed with a $2,500 minimum. One of the lots sold for $100 over the minimum and that bidder also tried to purchase the other lot.

Polk-Burnett Electric Co-op holds annual meeting

Lower electric rates, $800,000 returned to members

Gregg Westigard | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE - Polk-Burnett Electric Cooperative lowered its electric rates in January and returned $800,000 in capital credits, similar to patronage refunds, to its members last September. Those were some of the messages the member-owners of the electric cooperative heard at the Co-op’s 77th-annual meeting Friday, June 19, at Unity school in Balsam Lake. Polk-Burnett President Ed Gullickson and interim General Manager Steve Stroshane talked about the state of the co-op.

When history was personal Noted local author Sara DeLuca highlights local farm lives of the past Greg Marsten | Staff writer BALSAM LAKE – Growing up on a Polk County farm decades ago, Sara DeLuca had volumes of local memories to build from, but it was a special cache of letters and notes exchanged between her Aunt Margaret and her late mother that turned her into such a historian. In her recently released book, “The Crops Look Good: News from a Midwestern Family Farm,� DeLuca details local Wisconsin farm life during the 1920s through 1950s, based on a collection of family letters and interviews, woven together by narration that details parallel events in the region, the nation, and the world. DeLuca spent years, over a decade, really, compiling the stories, tales, tragedy, photos, memories and highlights of a rural life, from her family farm, which was located between Milltown and Centuria. She gave a bit of an insight into her tale and future projects in an interview with the Leader, as she appears across the region promoting local history and highlighting her book. “I had so much (material), but I ended up using less than half of what I had, maybe less. A third really,� DeLuca said, adding that just transcribing some of the material took over a year, waking up before the sun, often several hours before work, just to transcribe, write or catalogue the accounts. “I started trying to do this about 15 years ago at the library, but a lot of that information just wasn’t there,� she said, noting how online genealogy and historical accounts are now just a few mouse clicks away. “Now a lot of it is right there. While that’s a real plus, a lot of the writing is not really personal.� With her poetic writing style, DeLuca makes it personal and intriguing. She highlights the lifestyles, daily routines and stories of her family that were typical of the times, decades ago, when Polk County was a vastly different place, relying mainly on agriculture and its ancillary suppliers, DeLuca’s Williamson farm was illustrative of a now almost-lost era. “In some ways, it is sad to see how the (Polk County) landscape changes. I see barns falling down and new homes popping up where they weren’t,� she said, pointing to how she moved to Georgia over a dozen years ago, but still returns home to see family and friends. “I guess in some ways, it’s gotten better, but it’s ./J83>/6C + .300/</8> 6995381 :6+-/ H DeLuca’s compilation is built on boxes of letters and information from her Aunt Margaret, lugged across the nation as she moved, eventually being pulled from beneath Margaret’s mobile home years ago, as a gift to DeLuca. It is those personal accounts derived through the letters that make her story so unique, as they highlight many of the things history does not record, and often leaves to families to recall and retell.

All my aunts and uncles were great storytellers, but they didn’t really talk about the tragedies all that much.� DeLuca’s fascination with history and local tales began when she was a student in high school in Milltown, years ago. She was given an assignment to interview an elder, and it created an itch of sorts that she slowly scratched over the years. “(“Crops...�) Is not just about my family, but the whole culture that nurtured us,� she said. DeLuca is offering a special presentation this coming Saturday, June 27, at 12: 30 p.m. at the Polk County Historical Museum in Balsam Lake. She plans to not only read from her book, but will also en-

tertain discussions on what has become a passion of sorts for her, to encourage others to do as she has in compiling their own family history, beyond genealogy. “Everybody has personal and family stories to contribute,� she said, adding that a suggestion is to videotape elders and family members who have those stories, so they can be shared later. “So many people I meet say they wish they had done that.� DeLuca will detail how she compiled her own stories, as well as give tips for others to learn from her successes and mistakes.

“I did a number of interviews of family members in the 1970s on (audio recording) tape,� she said with a sigh. “But I -+8I> J8. +8C :6+C/<= +8CA2/</ 09< >2+> type of tape. Luckily, I transcribed them back then, but those letters from the 1920s are still good!� She encouraged others to establish a sort of family historian or chronicler, to keep track of things like letters, news clippings, photos and the like, and said she will also address ways to become your own historian. DeLuca’s book is published by the Minnesota Historical Society, who also published her very popular 1980s book, “Dancing The Cows Home.� She called it an honor to be published by such a prestigious and active group with deep historical encouragement.

While DeLuca has always written poetry in her spare time, and continues to write and hopefully publish some of that work, local history has become her passion in recent years. “My next endeavor is to help others do this, “ she said, noting how she is hoping to visit assisted living centers and other facilities where elders may have stories to tell, to keep a growing compilation of memories of the past. “I feel that’s really important, to allow people to share with others, they have so much to add,� she said. “We don’t know what life will be like in 20, 30 years, but A29 589A= >2/C </+66C 7312> J8. ?= =9<> of interesting!� DeLuca’s presentation will be at the Polk County Museum in downtown Balsam Lake this Saturday, June 27, at 12:30 p.m. She will speak about the importance of preserving personal and family history, with a discussion about the writing process and ways to preserve local and family history.

SCF School Board reviews junior seminar

Administrator attends last meeting; entryway decisions remain

Greg Marsten | Staff writer ST. CROIX FALLS – The St. Croix Falls Board of Education entertained a presentation and discussion on the successes and possible weaknesses of the unique junior seminar program the district implemented last fall for 11th-grade students. Teacher Matt Beversdorf discussed and showed some of the so-called “capstone� projects several of the juniors created, meant for students to “think globally and act locally,� he said, in a way that they hoped would have an impact on an issue they felt was important. “From teen depression ... to invasive species brochures,� Beversdorf said of the topics covered. “We had three truly outstanding projects, and 27 in total. Some worked alone, many in groups.� Beversdorf showed the noted depression video, called “You Are Not Alone,� which was created by three students and addressed mental illness, suicide and how to help. He said the Polk County Mental Health Department is considering using the video as part of their programs. Beversdorf also showed screen shots of a magazine that several female students created to address young girls body image issues, an impressive project he called “an antidote to issues of body image.� “It is called True magazine, and it includes positive images of young women, beyond how they looked,� he said. “It is very ambitious ... they’d even like to continue to work on this next year.� He also addressed the preliminary results of grading for the junior class, noting 29A .30J-?6> 3> 3= >9 -97:+</ >2/ /B:/<3mental approach with just one year, but he suggested the overall impact has been positive, with grade improvements in English, reading and composite scores, and minimal changes in math and science 1<+./= ,?> +66 /3>2/< K+> 9< 37:<9@/. “Good students, if anything, got a boost (from the junior seminar program),� he suggested, which was the opposite of earlier concerns, where they thought good students might not feel as challenged by

Superintendent Glenn Martin praised Beversdorf and the other teachers who were very involved in creating the program. “There’s at least three or four years’ work on this,� Martin said. Beversdorf thinks the coming year will be much easier to plan and should be different for students, as well, who may have a more positive attitude coming in than the previous class. “There was a lot of early resistance,� Beversdorf said. “I think the sophomore class (coming in this fall) has a little better attitude about it.� “I really think it was a good thing,� stated board member Patricia Mitchell. “We know where we need to improve,� Beversdorf said in closing as he said the

whole mission of the program was meant to better prepare students for college, secondary education and the real world.

“Over 10 centuries� of teaching experience lost, ad says Thank-you to retired, resigned and nonrenewed staff is latest development in Spooner school controversy Gary King | Editor SPOONER - A group called Friends of Spooner Schools placed an ad this week thanking teachers who have retired, resigned or not had their contracts renewed, noting the school district is losing “over 10 centuries (1,000-plus years) of experience.� It is the latest development in a standoff between some parents, teachers and community members who are concerned over the budget cuts and alleged poor treatment of teachers by administration that have led to resignations and parents opting to open enroll their students in other school districts. Spooner administration and school board members are attempting to deal with a projected ,?.1/> ./J-3> School board members asked Administrator Michelle Schwab to lead them in making budget cuts. Some have felt her plan goes too far but Schwab has said that without the cuts the district will either have to go to referendum to ask voters for more money or explore consolidation in several years, which would scatter the district’s 1,300 students. “When you look at the current laws related

to the Affordable Care Act, the increase, the increase in health insurance premiums, the ongoing cost of operating our buildings and then where our community is located ‌ all of those play into the types of revenues we can get in,â€? Schwab said. Former teacher Andrew Melton said the issue goes beyond budget cuts, claiming he and other staff felt “bulliedâ€? by the administration. He said he was reprimanded twice for publicly criticizing the district and placed on administrative leave. In the last year, 42 of the district’s 165 faculty and staff have retired, resigned or have not had their contracts renewed. In addition, more than two dozen aides have not received work assignments for the fall. The ad, placed in this week’s Washburn County Register by Friends of Spooner Schools cites each teacher by name, noting 27 staff were not issued a contract for next year, 34 resigned, 12 retired and two long-term substitutes will not be returning. “It is known that many of you wish to stay if circumstances were different, and it is feared the others may be compelled to follow you in the days ahead,â€? the ad states. “The investment of your lives - your wisdom, experience and caring - into Spooner students is truly appreciated, and its loss will leave a void in our students’ lives >2+> A366 ,/ 37:9==3,6/ >9 J66 H - with information from Wisconsin Public Radio

I have borne witness to the agony and terror that property owners go through when government tells them >2/C -+8I> JB >2/3< 297/ F >2/C 7?=> tear it down and move it back.

It ensures that homeowners will have the absolute right to JB +8. </,?36. >2/3< 297/= 1+<+1/= and other structures so long as they do not expand the footprint, i.e. not one drop of extra runoff. It ensures that homeowners can enjoy a patio or deck on their property, so long as they mitigate the runoff so it never reaches the lake or river. It ensures homeowners will never be told to tear out their lawn or shut off their landscape lights. While I understand that there are some who prefer a top down, command and control approach to shoreland zoning, I prefer an approach that protects fundamental property rights, while encouraging people to comply with the rules, because the rules will

now be workable, uniform, understandable and fair. This will result in much better compliance, more people applying for permits (instead of skirting the rules) and a larger tax base. I believe we can do two things at once – protect lakes and rivers and protect property rights. I hope you will join 7/ 38 >23= 37:9<>+8> J12> Rep. Adam Jarchow Balsam Lake

Now Jarchow is trying to impose his ideas across the whole state through an amendment to the budget bill that would severely limit counties’ ability to protect the waters within their boundaries. The general rule of law has always been that local governments may enact restrictions greater than those contained in state law; Jarchow now wants the state’s minimum shoreland standards to be the new maximum. For Polk County that would mean not only the elimi8+>398 90 9?< /8>3</ 6+5/ -6+==3J-+tion system, but also the scrapping of 8/+<6C J@/ C/+<= 90 A9<5 </@3=381 9?< current shoreland ordinance. For these reasons, the Polk County Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a resolution at their Tuesday, June 16, meeting calling for the removal of the Jarchow amendments from the state budget. The Oneida County board adopted a similar resolution on the same night. The Wisconsin Counties Association, in a recent letter to the Joint Finance Committee stated, “It is our concern that unintended impacts (of the Jarchow amendment) will lead to a decline in environmental quality in our shoreland areas and consequently result in lower property values and a decline in overall economic conditions.� Sweeping changes to the law such as Jarchow is proposing have no place in the budget bill. If he thinks this is such a great idea, the representative should present it in the form of a stand-alone bill subject to the normal process of public hearings and debate.

-7 E:AG>6 F:3@= :;? It appears from the Leader article last week and Pat Schmidt’s letter bemoaning the inevitable pollution of our county’s water resources, if she and her misguided colleagues on the county board aren’t allowed to ignore DNR water-quality science and impose needless regulations on private property owners just to justify more county meetings, that Polk County Board members have their snuggies in a knot. It seems state Assemblyman Adam Jarchow had the gall to actually at>/7:> >9 0?6J66 23= -+7:+318 :<973=/ >9 J12> 09< 38.3@3.?+6 <312>= 09< >2/ people of his district and Wisconsin. Apparently Jarchow hasn’t learned what some of the more notorious perdiem chasers on the county board have known for years. Say whatever people want to hear in order to get elected and then, once the votes are counted, to heck with your constituents, and forget your promises. Adam made the commonsense proposal to the Legislature that if the DNR was in fact the bureaucracy responsible for protecting the natural resources of the whole state of Wisconsin, then the regulations developed by their researchers should be =?0J-3/8>6C </=><3->3@/ >9 :<9>/-> >2/ natural resources in Polk County. Our county board apparently believes that if some regulation of private property is good, then a lot more regulation of private property must be a lot better. And asserting their self-proclaimed expertise on water-quality science makes them feel so much more relevant ... and it provides an almost limitless opportunity to take advantage of the Schmidt rule that effectively doubled per diems for board members while giving county employees a 3-percent increase for actually showing up every day and doing their jobs. You can have a lot of meetings to discuss things you know little about, especially when those meetings make you feel so much better, and richer by $100 a pop. Polk County for years has been subjected to shoreland regulations that exceed the DNR standards, and there is no proof that water quality in Polk County is any better or worse than it is in other counties. Jarchow is attempting to acknowledge the fact that if the state DNR governs the use of shoreland property statewide, additional restrictions added by county boards >2+> 2+@/ 89 =-3/8>3J- 6/13>37+-C +</ unnecessary and overly burdensome to property owners. We should be thanking Jarchow for attempting to do what he said he would do. Bob Blake Frederic

Pearson (no relation to this writer) already had travel experience in Cen Central and South America. Her research soon narrowed the focus to Guatemala, a country roughly three-quarters the size of Wisconsin situated just south of Mexico. Thus began an odyssey that has spanned a decade, one that has greatly enriched her life while giving her the chance to make a real difference in the lives of people who have suffered under brutal repression and are now busy try trying to rebuild their lives. “Beginning in the early 1980’s, “death squads,� under the direction of General Efrain Rios Montt and with tactical +8.

She stayed on until April of that year, living and working side by side with the people and forming strong and lasting bonds along the way. For Pearson, it was not a one-shot deal. She has maintained close ties with the people of Chacula, and when the villag villagers no longer felt the need for physical accompaniment, she found other ways to support their efforts. In 1999, she returned with a K-GAP delegation and stayed for TWO weeks, reconnecting with the families she’d met there. She has returned to the village numerous times since then and has established scholarships for young people to attend school, helped fund medical clinics and pharmacies and delivered donated medical supplies. Over the past few years, K-GAP has joined forces with other similar organizations around the country to turn up pressure on the Guatemalan government to prosecute genocide cases from the 1980s. Early this year, Jeri Pearson made plans to visit Guatemala once more, hoping to be part of a delegation that was planning to deliver 1,200 signed letters to the attor-

sent, no say whatsoever. Politicians have a habit of doing this when they know their proposal won’t survive public scrutiny. Jarchow’s claim that his proposal will provide science-based uniform regula regulations is a red herring because the science clearly indicates that different situations call for different regulations. This is why Wisconsin counties have the ability to ./@/69: </1?6+>398= >2+> ,/=> J> >2/ 69-+6 conditions. Jarchow also claims that owners of legal, but nonconforming properties currently have to decide between tearing down their house and repairing structural ./J-3/8-3/= &23= 3= +6=9 + </. 2/<<381 09< several reasons. First, owners can often get a variance for a reasonable structural

repair; second, the current draft of Polk County’s shoreland zoning ordinance, re revised with years of citizen input, would allow up to 50 percent of the structure to be repaired; and third, the current state statewide shoreland zoning ordinance already allows for a one-time increase of up to 200 square feet. One has to wonder if Jarchow is going >9 :/<=98+66C ,/8/J> 0<97 23= :<9:9=+6 8 Polk County any grandfathered structure set back less than 100 feet from a river or from most lakes is subject to the restric restrictions he is proposing to eliminate.

Additionally, the number of automobiles and light trucks registered with the state has increased by less than 1 percent annually over the same 10-year time period. As a result of this squeeze on the transportation budget, the state Legislature is now debating the best approach to addressing our long-term transportation needs. The governor’s budget proposal, which relies heavily on bonding to pay for transportation projects, has drawn =3183J-+8> =-<?>38C +8. A366 89> ,/ +:=3183J-+8> =-<?>38C +8.

I, along with many of my colleagues,

believe that a sustainable solution to the transportation fund must be found and the level of bonding must be lowered. Even as legislators largely agree over the amount of bonding that should be removed from the budget, discussions are ongoing over how those reductions should be implemented.

But the frosting on the cake came a few days later. She and her husband, Marty, made the arduous 10-hour bus trip from Guatemala City to Chacula where they spent a few days. While in the village, she had the sublime pleasure of watching two of her scholarship recipients teaching in the local school. For Pearson, her vision had somehow reached fruition; the two young men, who were small boys when she met them, were proud to show her the skills they had honed with scholarship money she had generated. For Jeri Pearson, her Guatemalan experience hasn’t been about charity. “We talked a long time at the last K-GAP meeting about this issue,� she says. “Charity is about me feeling good, assuaging guilt without actually threatening the status quo. I like to think that my work in Guatemala has been more than that, something I would call solidarity in the best sense of the word. I’ve worked with, not for the people there. It hasn’t been a we-they thing. It’s been about unanimity of purpose and what people can accomplish together. In a way, my future will always be bound up with theirs.� Such is the fruit of this committed life. Author’s note: Jeri Pearson continued to visit Chacula after this column was written and planned to return there in January of 2016.

FREDERIC • GRANTSBURG • LUCK • ST. CROIX FALLS • SIREN • UNITY • WEBSTER Marty Seeger|Leader staff writer LEADER LAND – With all but one West Lakeland Conference baseball team in the Division 3 regional this season only one team survived to sectional play in 2015, which is unfortunate, because every one of them might have had a shot at moving deep into the playoffs, or even the state tournament. St. Croix Falls, with their second consecutive West Lakeland Conference title and most

wins in program history, certainly deserved their ticket to sectionals, but Turtle Lake/Clayton, Grantsburg and ultimately Chequamegon, were no easy tasks. In Division 2, Siren/Webster picked up a big win over Rice Lake in a very tough regional before ultimately falling to Hayward, but there are many positive things coming for Siren/Webster baseball in the next few seasons. It was a great year for baseball in the West Lakeland

with many talented seniors vying for a chance to move on in the playoffs or contend for the conference title. No game was a gimme in the conference this season and next year could be a similar scenario. This year’s All-Leader baseball selections could be the most senior-dominated to date, yet plenty of others will be looking to move their teams forward next spring. Congrats on another great season!

Micro sprint graduate Tony Duran’s power plant failed in his debut heat race, forcing him to scratch for the feature. The remaining 14 sprinters embarked on another of their patented high-, middle-, low-multigroove races. Two-time series champion Rob Caho started on the pole, and emerged as the lap one leader in front of gaggle of previous winners. Chase Viebrock, fresh off dual wins last weekend, led the second group that also included Jimmy Kouba, Jake Kouba, Rick Kobs, Jon Lewerer, Mike Mueller, Johnny Parsons III, Kevin Bradwell and James Giossi. Caho checked out on his way to his second trophy of the summer, but the all-star cast behind him jostled, sliced and diced for runner-up honors.

First solo BWCAW trip followed by sorrow The wilderness canoe trips I had scheduled by Jeff for the summer of 2014 Postler didn’t work out as planned, as three out of the six trips were can canceled for various reasons. When my partner told me that a medical emergency had come up involving a neighbor, it was understandable, but it was then that I started considering a solo trip in early August. I am by no means a rookie at doing canoe trips up into the BWCA, with 66 trips completed so far, but had never embarked on a solo trip before. I was al always a little apprehensive about doing a solo trip in the past but this time was different. I felt that I needed to go. But the usual things ran through my mind: “What if I got hurt and needed help?� Since I don’t have a solo canoe, “would strong winds be a problem controlling the canoe?� My dad’s health status was not good so, “What if something happened to Dad while I’m up there?� These are all very important things that a person must consider before attempting a solo trip. After 34 years of teaching high school physical education and coaching track +> )/,=>/< A+= A/66 +A+</ 90 J<=> +3. procedures and with just using common sense, I thought that it most likely would go all right. Secondly, I have canoed a few times across lakes by myself in the past but when I did, I sat in the front seat of my Mad River Explorer Kevlar canoe facing backwards so that I was closer to >2/ -/8>/< 90 >2/ -+89/ J1?</. >2+> 30 I put most of my packs all the way up to the front of the canoe that I would be able to steer the canoe reasonably well. Thirdly, as far as my dad’s health situation was concerned, he was 86 years old with congestive heart failure. I recently went down to see him and he was doing as well as could be expected, so I chose to only do a short, three-day BWCA trip into a lake that is fairly close to where I would park my vehicle.

.F My 67th solo trip was planned for Crocodile Lake. I got off to a late start to the day but headed toward East Bearskin Lake and made it to Crocodile Lake by 5 p.m. It’s about a 2-1/2-mile paddle into Crocodile Lake but I made the mistake of taking too much gear on this trip, bring bringing a folding chair, small ice cooler pack, along with all of my personal clothing, camping and cooking equipment and gear to live comfortably for three days. %38-/ >2/ J<=> 2+60 90 >2/ <9. :9<>+1/ was very steep, I ended up making three trips up and across the portage which was more work than I had planned.

I gathered from them that most of the walleyes were under 17 inches but much to my surprise, they did net a couple of 24-inchers as well, So I guess there actually are a few respectable walleyes in Crocodile Lake. I made three trips to complete the portage back down to East Bearskin Lake and paddled my way back to my truck. When I got to Grand Marais, I checked my cell phone for voice messages, and sure enough, my wife left the dreaded message that nobody wants to hear. She said that there had been a family emergency and that I should call her immediately. I quickly called her and found out that my dad had fallen, broke his hip and was in a very dazed condition. My dad was having hospice care come to the house a few times each week but they needed to quickly transport him to Agrace Hospice Care Center in Madison.

Miss Milltown coronation this Friday evening Mary Stirrat | Staff writer MILLTOWN — Friday evening, June 26, 16-year-old RaeAnna Johnston will be crowned the new Miss Milltown. She is the single candidate for the title, which will be given at the coronation ceremony that starts at 7:30 p.m. at the gazebo in Bering Park. Johnston, who will be a junior at Unity Schools this fall, said she has hoped to wear the Miss Milltown crown since she was in the Little Miss Milltown pageant nine years ago. “I’ve just always wanted to do it,� she said. At school, Johnston is involved in FFA, band and jazz band, and drama. She was treasurer of FFA last year, and will be vice president this coming school year. She plays the alto sax, and enjoys acting in the plays that Unity puts on. Outside of school, Johnston likes to read in her spare time.

Burnett Dairy hosts Dairy Days celebration Jean Koelz|Staff writer ALPHA – June is National Dairy Month, a tradition that dates back to 1937. All monthlong, farms and dairies all over the state of Wisconsin, the dairy capital of America, host breakfasts, sponsor contests and throw parties. And every June, the Burnett Dairy in Alpha hosts a twoday party called Dairy Days where children can play and dairy lovers of all ages can enjoy free milk, cheese and ice cream. On June 19 and 20, thousands of people visited both the general store and the cheese store, where salespeople and other vendors gave away free pop, popcorn and samples of homemade bread, wine, fudge, pizzas and sandwiches. In addition, in an outside play area that included rides, games, live music and a petting zoo, children were given free balloons and activity bags, and adults could register for :<3D/= >2+> 38-6?./. 130> -/<>3J-+>/= A38/ +8. -2//=/ ,+=5/>= :<9:+8/ </J66= +8. +8 outdoor grill.

a free pound of butter, and the dairy reported that nearly 500 pounds of butter were given away. The International Dairy Foods Association website says, “National Dairy Month is a great way to start the summer with nutrient-rich dairy foods. From calcium to potassium, dairy products like milk contain nine essential nutrients which may help to better manage your weight, reduce your risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis and certain cancers. Whether it’s protein to help build and repair the muscle tissue of active bodies or vitamin A to help maintain healthy skin, dairy products are a natural nutrient powerhouse. Those are just a few of the reasons that you should celebrate dairy not just in June, but all yearlong.�

by Vicki Engel p north at the cabin, at 9:45 p.m., I sat on my screen porch on my grandma’s old mission rocking chair, writing, with all the windows open. Slowly I became aware of an occasional lyrical croaking of what sounded like a grandfather bullfrog. This rubberband plucking-sound of “garumph!� emanated from our lake’s shoreline not 50 feet in front of me, down a slight in incline from my porch. I switched off my reading lamp and tuned in to listen. Trunks, branches and needles of the white pines were sil silhouetted against the still-as-glass Prussian blue of the lake. Then, in the distance, I discerned a faint whippoorwill song and noted her cheery staccato call was coming closer, and becoming louder and more agi agitated. She must have perched nearby, as her solo crescendoed to a frenetic pace. 0A;84A 14<>0=43 C74 502C C70C had not heard any loon calls since my arrival at the lake that day. So I was thrilled when, just as the twanging frog and hyperactive whippoorwill were dueting, there rose the repeated, plaintive wail of a loon. It was three-part harmony on Myrick Lake, a very mem memorable concert in the dark! It continued until, like the ending of a round, the loon stilled his call, and the whippoorwill withdrew her bid for attention. Finally, at 10:10, the only sound was the infrequent “garumph!� of the bullfrog in the still of the night. To continue this musical analogy, I think I heard an encore around 12:15 a.m., when the whippoorwill returned for a short duet with the grandfather frog, who croaked most of the night in earnest.

I bought eggs the other day. Yikes! I know we will probably have ham for Thanksgiving, because of the shortage of turkeys. The prices on other groceries are so high. I have never canned things or frozen vegetables and fruits. I just never learned how. I was never taught to sew either.

Members of the Siren Community Ag Association wish to thank the Dodds family for hosting our Annual Dairy Breakfast. Thanks to all those sponsors and helpers who made the breakfast a success in spite of the weather. At one point in the morning, I asked if there were any current dairy farmers in the group, but no show of hands. Then I asked about former dairy farmers, and a few hands came up. Finally, I asked about those raised on a dairy farm, and there was a huge show of hands. Things sure have changed in Northwest Wisconsin! Thanks to all who came, we enjoyed your company.

Sincerely, Grant Burdick
